Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has topped yet another chart.

Earning $170 million over the past year, the pop megastar is the No. 1 highest-paid entertainer on Forbes' new Celebrity 100 list for 2016. A gallery of the full list has been released.

Swift sat in eighth place with $80 million in earnings on last year's list, meaning she saw a 112% increase in the year that included the 1989 World Tour and brand partnerships with Diet Coke, Keds, and Apple.

Even so, Swift's earnings are only slightly more than half of last year's No. 1 earner Floyd Mayweather, who raked in a whopping $300 million.

Take a look at the top 10 celebrity earners, from Kevin Hart to Adele, and how much they made in the past year.
